How to: Apply a white doily border rub on across the top of a kraft grid paper card base (I cut the border into two pieces to get the two curves). Set a yellow fleur-de-lis border sticker on the top right edge. Trim pink diagonally striped paper into a notched strip and adhere it across the bottom. Trim a yellow chevron transparency into a notched strip and adhere it over the other notched paper. Create an accordion flower from aqua map paper and set it on the bottom right corner. Cut a purple frame sticker in half and set the halves on the accordion flower with a space between. Trim green leaves paper into notched strip and adhere it over the frame pieces. Add woodgrain letter stickers and a brown birds on a branch sticker to the green leaves paper. Write "so much!" with a brown pen under the letter stickers to finish the sentiment. Fold two pieces of washi tape (pink floral and brown birds on a wire) in half and tuck them under the sentiment to finish.

How to: Adhere twenty-four 2" square photos across the top of a kraft cardstock layout base. Hand cut title letters from patterned paper and patterned transparencies then glue them across the bottom. Write journaling around the edges of the exposed kraft cardstock. Add snowflake or Christmas tree stickers to the "holes" of the letters. Apply white frame rub ons to the photos to highlight certain elements.

How to: Cover a teal cardstock card base with a variety of label stickers. Apply a cameo/scalloped frame rub on to white cardstock and cut it out; adhere it to the center of the card using pop dots. Add a row of pearls along the neckline of the cameo. Place "BFF" kraft mini alphabet stickers along the side of the cameo to make a sentiment.

How to: Trim mini photos to 1" squares and punch 1" squares from patterned paper and patterned transparencies. Arrange the photos and paper squares into a heart shape on a shimmery cream cardstock base. Sew around the heart three times using a different color of thread each round. Journal around the stitched hearts. Add a title on the bottom right side. Apply doily and aqua splatter rub ons around the edges. Embellish with stickers and punch butterfly borders in three places as shown. Set some small stickers on the paper squares to finish.

Journaling says: Every day is a gift and a blessing. Every day I count my lucky stars for the many wonderful opportunities that have come my way. I am so: happy, grateful, joyous.

How to: Punch a bunch of circles from patterned paper then cut each circle into quarters. Arrange the circles in a quilt-like pattern down the center of an aqua cardstock base. Drop aqua and white mist across the layout. Add a trio of photos using pop dots. Apply angel and butterfly wing rub ons behind the photos. Place a strip of washi tape underneath each photo then add letter stickers to create the title. Write journaling on the left side and finish with a few bird stickers next to the photos.
